Tower Hamlets free home care: User calls it 'transformational' Months after Tower Hamlets Council introduced free home care, how is the scheme going?

Across the UK, councils help cover the cost of this care if a person has less than Β£23,250 in savings..last year Tower Hamlets Council decided to offer this for free.
The care is provided in residents' homes, and covers adult social care provision.

We're continuing to share cards used by team members in their #dramatherapy sessions. The concept of Archetypes goes back to Ancient Greece, & was developed by the psychoanalyst Carl G Jung. These cards show the Positive & Negative aspects of the archetypes.

Thank you to Sarah and Jeannie for last nights #storytelling. The session mirrored the story of Stone Soup, where each person contributes something to the collective.

There is a significant unmet need for #mentalhealth support for #olderadults, but rarely the funding to support the kind of help they need, so it is even more important that @tnlcommunityfund.org.uk are funding this project.
